21th August 2011: Bolton - Man City

BOLTON
After a very good start of the season (4-0 victory over QPR), Bolton will face a harder test: Manchester City.
Last season the team faded badly after their FA Cup semi-final defeat, this year with new arrivals Nigel Reo-Coker and Chris Eagles the midfield seem to be more robust. The defensive side with Cahill looks good too.

Team news: The new signing Tuncay could be available after solving his work permit.

Possible lineup: Jaaskelainen. Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Steinsson. Petrov, Reo-Coker, Eagles, Muamba. K Davies, Klasnic.

27th august 2011: Aston Villa - Wolves

ASTON VILLA
Even if the start match wasn't impressive - a draw against Fulham - the second one was a convincing first home victory.
The new manager McLeish guided Birmingham City to a Carling Cup success, but he has a lot of work to do with Aston Villa.

Team news: no injuries.
Overall form so far: DW
